Estes Express API

The service provides shipping for items from parcel size to less-than-truckload (LTL) lots, with rate quotes, calculated transit time, and shipment status tracking. It integrates with e-commerce applications as part of fulfillment for completed transactions or standalone applications devoted specifically to shipping needs. It handles shipping manifest and pickup scheduling for shipments created via front-end functions.

API methods support generating a free rate quote and estimate of transit time in response to a request specifying cargo, point of origin, and destination. Methods also support booking a shipment with pickup scheduling, status updates during transit, and tracking.
